Right now, despite the infrastructure issues, I think fuel cell tech is the way to go. It generates electricity on the fly and can be "filled" just like an normal gas car. There are some safety issues with it because of hydrogen.

Ive also felt that fuel cell is the way to go, superficially its just like running a normal petrol/diesel car so people are bound to accept it better. Sure hydrogen extraction uses power and can cost a lot, but as you say IC engines arent exactly a world of efficiency anyway. Besides its not as if tons of money and energy isnt used to extract oil anyway.
